Background[]
The 30-minute late-night newscast, which uses a casual Filipino language, compared to the late-night news programs in other TV networks. Armed with the young, dynamic and aggressive news team, Ronda Trese delivers the news fresh from its source and informs viewers the exact time and place of the videos presented on air. Considering the time of the newscast, the target audience include the "thinking class," those who have relaxed enough from the day’s work and are ready to cap their day by knowing the big stories that happened during the day.
Ronda Trese focuses on the day's hottest and latest headlines and top stories in and around the country. It presents not only the main story, but also reaches out to give its viewers all the angles that make up our major stories and breaking news. In the interest of fairness, the news program presents all the sides of the concerned persons especially on controversial issues.
Ronda Trese aims not only to inform the ordinary Filipino of the issues, but it also gives the viewers analysis of how decisions of the government and certain current events will affect our everyday life. It also encourages the citizenry to be aware of what’s happening around him and take part in the development of the community.
Ronda Trese also conducts live-phone patch interviews to give the viewers an in-depth knowledge of the big issues of the day.
History[]
Title card used from April 24, 2000 until April 11, 2001.
Ronda Trese conceptualized, launched and premiered on February 21, 2000 at 11:00 pm, replacing IBC Balita Ngayon, which was the first newscast in Filipino premiered in 1998 anchored by Manuel Llige and Alice Noel who replaced its original anchor Ida Bernasconi before she returned to late-night newscasting in 2000, as part of changes that Viva Entertainment's subsidiary Viva Television acquired Vintage Enterprises (including VTV on IBC block) from the Velez family and changed its name to the launch of Viva TV, the primetime sports and entertainment block of IBC as a relaunch, which was brought about by the station's primetime blocktime agreement and its program partnership with Viva. Elmer Mercado, who returned to anchoring on IBC as the third news program after the afternoon newscasts IBC TV X-Press (1995-1997) and Headline Trese (1997-1998); was joined by former IBC Balita Ngayon anchor Ida Bernasconi who became a co-anchor. It was known for its tagline "Mga balitang walang labis, walang kulang."
Since then, at the start of the year 2000, Ronda Trese was gained the competition and dominates the late-night newscast, including Pulso: Aksyon Balita of ABS-CBN and Frontpage: Ulat ni Mel Tiangco of GMA.
In April 16, 2001, Ronda Trese relaunched with a brand new set, new opening billboard, graphics, soundtrack and a stand-up news delivery.
On January 4, 2002, it went its final airing. It was replaced by the network's new late-night newscast IBC News Tonite on January 7, 2002.
